Closing pinned tabs now closes the tab. I don't like this new behavior, I liked it when the page was closed but the tab was still open. It helped me free memory by reloading tabs - not the page itself, reloading the page does not free memory.

this release definitely has some issues. All application shortcuts cause the browswer to fail to open. Tried deleting the shortcuts and redoing them but same things happens - happens on 2 pcs one on xp one on vista for both google mail and reader application shortcuts

....Chrome has now a hell of a lot of work to do... IE9 is fast approaching and seems like microsoft is using the public as a number one option to feedback to make a widely approved browser and i must say they are doing a good job cause so far its almost as fast as chrome 6 LOL ???

- Please bring phantom tabs back- Please make a shortcut to show/hide the bookmark bar (if not Ctrl+B, then *something*)- Please change the animation to show the pinned tabs have been updated; that endless animation is just so annoying (maybe animate just a couple of times?)- Application shortcuts are buggy all the way: it crashes Chrome if you create them (as stated in the post) but also even if you *open* them.

I am also seeing the same issue that CMM mentioned regarding already existing Application shortcuts crashing the browser.@JaimyThe Known Issue reported in the release notes mentioned crashing on the act of creating a new application shortcut. It did not say that already existing application shortcuts would fail.

btw, has the extremely small, ugly x on tabs always been there? I like the normal size x's. Those small ones must be hard for people with bad vision to see. I know it shows up normal size, but thats if you scroll over it.

My extensions on home and work computers (after enabling sync), are still out of sync. Also autofill sync is new, but not working.also in the "Customize sync" menu, it is hardly visible. Can this "Customize sync" menu be enlarged ?

The unified menu looks great but a few changes are needed to make it perfect:

1. The zoom and edit options should be removed and the extensions option put back into the main menu.

OR

2. The zoom and edit options can stay, but add another sub-menu for Save Page As, Find, Print, Tools, and add the extensions option before the Bookmark manager option.

These are the only improvements needed (as these are the only issues people have with unified menu as indicated in comments in various articles/blogs/forums to unclutter and make the unified menu perfect.

Howdy: With this release I'm experiencing a major reproducible bug when visiting the following site:http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/

The site (a group commentary blog if'n you must know) renders fine in IE, and rendered fine in previous dev versions of Chrome. But now, several seconds after the site begins to render in a Chrome tab it will unfailingly fail... consistently crash ... and take all the other open tabs down with it.

The program itself does not crash and all the other pages can be reloaded. But each time this particular page is opened or reloaded, the result is the same - frowny sick faces in each tabbed window.

Working very smooth here on Mac 10.6, nice work. Only feature I keep wishing for is an option to have the download bar close automatically after x seconds. It's annoying to have to mouse over to the small X to close it. Even a keyboard shortcut would be welcome.
